Iconic 2000s TV show Fat Families to return as host promises new alternative to weight loss jabs

The host of the iconic TV show Fat Families has promised a return to the screen, and he's claiming he's found a new weight loss jab alternative.

TV from the times gone by often hasn't aged all that well, but Fat Families may well be one of the most controversial, as it saw Steve Miller visit families from across the UK with the aim of helping them lose weight.

The premise may already have been deemed a little contentious, and Miller's opening lines have gone down in history as he regularly mocked the bodies of those he was supposedly trying to help.

Now, 15 years on from the show's last episode, Miller has touted an unlikely return, claiming that it's possible to lose weight without the help of jabs such as Ozempic and Mounjaro, which have become increasingly popular.

Even with the help of the GLP-1 drugs, some of which are available to people on the NHS, Miller believes that the UK still has an obesity epidemic and he believes that a return to his old show, and old comedy, might just be the medicine that the country needs.

Speaking to The Sun, he said: “Forget fat jabs – I’ll be your new pr**k.

"We’ve nurtured a country of victims when it comes to not just weight but many things. I sometimes say to people, ‘Stop talking like a big fat lardy loser and start talking like a wobble-free winner’.”

Despite promising brutal honesty, Miller suggested that his new series, which will be filmed on his own personal YouTube account, will have an air of sensitivity that the 2000s version didn't.

He added: “I guess what I don’t want it to become is just like Fat Families was before,” he says.

“Because then it will be boring. I want it to be strong, with some sensitivity. But really I want a f***ing lardy laugh out of me.

“And I tell you from a TV perspective. I can’t believe the amount of young people that are dying for this to happen. And I think it’s because they’ve been starved of proper comedy.”

Miller also reckons he's found a new way for people to lose weight without the need of Ozempic and Mounjaro. You might hope that it's a combination of healthy meals and exercise, but no; it's another expensive jab.

The registered hypnotherapist created HypnoJab last year, a hypnotic process that helps people lose weight by simply imagining that they're taking a weight loss jab. Hopefully it doesn't come with all the side effects and none of the potential benefits.

Either way, it seems that we can soon expect to see Miller and his memes on our screens once again.
